Re: Stepside Bed

A month ago I shipped two 65" flatscreen tv boxes with truck doors in them that weighed just under 200 pounds and cost $ 285 via Greyhound from CA to OH.

The truck bed assembled would have to be on a pallet and shipped via truck freight, so $ 900 from CA to NY is not bad.

A year ago I had 1 pallet with Trailer axles and boxes of parts shipped to my house from Southern Cal to my house in Northern Cal and cost me $ 580 This was by Truck freight.
It would have cost a bit less if I picked it up at the truck terminal but would have been a P.I.A.

I also had a pallet shipped from TX to me by truck freight and Cost $ 550.

So bottom line weigh the cost of rust repair on a local bed or the freight charge for a clean California bed, $ 900 sounds like a deal.
